Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "quiver" with "shiver." "Shiver" usually describes your whole body shaking because of cold or fear, while "quiver" is often used for a smaller part (like a voice, lip, or hand) shaking in a lighter, finer way. Another mistake is confusing this verb meaning with the noun "quiver" that holds arrows.
